The story

John Rocker arrived on San Juan del Sur as one of Survivor's most controversial castings — a former MLB All-Star closer for the Atlanta Braves whose inflammatory past had made national headlines. On the island, he played a domineering, my-way game that quickly grated.

When Jeremy Collins exposed his history to the tribe and Rocker failed to protect ally Val Collins, Coyopa turned on him, voting him out in sixteenth with a hidden immunity idol still in his pocket.
